Episode 4: The Gray Space - From Higher Ed to Higher Purpose
In our first solo session, Alex shares her personal journey of leaving behind 15 years in higher education to step into higher purpose with The SoulFire Collective (www.thesoulfire.com). She explores what it means to live in the gray space—the in-between of identity, faith, and the unknown. Through honest reflection, Alex unpacks the grief of letting go, the excitement of new beginnings, and the courage it takes to trust the process.
Action Steps for Listeners:
1) Name your gray space: Ask yourself, ‘What part of my life feels in-between right now?’ Write it down. When you put language around it, it becomes less of a shadow and more of a space you can see and hold.
2) Find one anchor: What practice, habit, or relationship keeps you grounded? It could be journaling, prayer, morning walks, or even a phone call with a trusted friend. Choose one and lean into it this week—something that steadies you when the gray feels shaky.
3) Reframe the unknown: Instead of asking, ‘What if this goes wrong?’ try asking, ‘What if this goes right?’ Flip the story in your head, and let yourself imagine the best-case scenario instead of living in fear of the worst.
